Reply to comment by LibertyNachos in State Orders NYC To Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban, Says Ban Violates NY Agricultural Law by Gato1980

>It’s not altogether great for the bird:

Is worrying about the (very short term) health problems of a bird that is being raised specifically to be murdered really that important?

By the time the force-feeding starts, most farm fowl only have a week to a month of life left.

that’s a good philosophical question and hard to answer objectively. I can only state my opinion that the suffering that the bird goes through is unnecessarily cruel. the animal would suffer less if it was permitted to eat food in a more natural manner before it is slaughtered. the end result is the same but the journey to the end is not, and that to me is deserving of reconsideration.
